Friendly and helpful staff, the location was decent and the accomodation lovely. The food on offer was great. Only complaint was the thin walls, we could hear a lot of what was going on in the next room, and our baby woke the baby in the room next door durng the night...

Tried to check in early but the staff said we couldn’t , when we eventually checked in and went to our room we found it far too hot with no ac which was worrying for my partner who suffers from asthma.

Nice property - it was unfortunate that due to the major cancellations at Luton airport there was a long wait for check-in but this was, I imagine, exceptional. Nice small hotel, friendly staff and good choice for breakfast.

Well managed family party
Fantastic sevice from Alex, who arranged our family dinner in a private room and was super helpful, and reception were also friendly. Breakfast was a bit of a shambles with staff who couldn't cope and werent professional, but overall a good stay - the food was excellent quality and value. Walled garden is pretty and the old part of the hotel is nice - the new parts lack any sort of character, but are comfortable enough.

This could be a nice property but if they are hosting a wedding when you visit then you'll never find out. On arrival we found out that there were no dining facilities, no lift to reach the room nor anyone to assist with bags. Like many venues they were struggling for staff so getting served at the bar was a challenge. The worst aspect had to be the complete lack of sleep possible with wedding guests making noise until 5am. Following morning breakfast was set-up for mass catering with watery coffee served from a catering style vacuum flask. Cross-contaminated serving utensils even after advising staff of a mushroom allergy. I sure with no wedding ongoing we may have enjoyed a completely different experience. I'd recommend checking at the time you book what else if planned in this hotel especially if you actually want any sleep.
